Krátky popis
The phenomenal #1 Chinese bestseller, with over 3 million copies
sold. This is a searing exploration of what makes a hero: a
literary masterpiece, available in the English language for the
very first time.The boy grows up in a small village in south China
listening to stories about the Colonel: some say he was a legendary
army doctor during the war, some say he was a traitor to the Party,
still others say he is a wicked sex machine. The stories are bawdy
and mesmerizing, always larger than life.Yet in reality, the
Colonel is just a middle-aged man who loves his cat. And why on
earth does everyone call him 'the Eunuch'?From these disparate
sources, the boy tries to piece together who the Colonel really is,
just as he himself grows up in a rapidly changing China. It is not
until many years later, when the boy also becomes a middle-aged
man, that he would look back and finally solve the puzzle.The
Colonel and the Eunuch is Mai Jia's first new novel in eight years
and his most ambitious work to date. An exciting departure from spy
thrillers, this is a coming-of-age story, a family saga, as well as
a searing exploration of what makes a hero. The Colonel is Mai
Jia's singular creation: an almost mythic figure shrouded in the
tragedy of war and history, whose story will move even the most
stone-hearted to tears.
